The enigmatic Earl Sweatshirt of Odd Future has long been considered the best lyricist of the collective, ever since his debut self titled mixtape was released in 2010. After a hiatus from the real world at a Samoan boarding school for two years, Earl has maintained a relatively low profile, choosing to make appearances on […]

Odd Future's Earl Sweatshirt, known for Doris and his self-titled work, is jumping on the not-a-ton-of-hype bandwagon. His newest ten-track LP, titled I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside, has been thrown up on iTunes (due out March 23) for pre-ordering. The project includes features with Dash, Wiki, Na'kel, and Vince Staples, and the album's lead single, "Grief," is ready for purchase and download now. Unfortunately, like Kendrick Lamar's latest album, it appears this surprise might have been revealed a little earlier than the artist would've liked.But here's the reported track list: 1. Huey 2. Mantra 3. Faucet 4. Grief 5. Off Top 6. Grown Ups (ft. Dash) 7. Am // Radio (ft. Wiki) 8. Inside 9. Dna (ft. Na'kel) 10. Wool (ft. Vince Staples) And here's a stream of "Grief" — while it lasts:

Things are getting serious on The Voice UK. We've had the blinds, we've had the battles, and now it's time for knockouts - also known as the final stage before the live shows. Yikes, right? Each of the acts had to pick a killer song to convince their coach to put them through to the live shows. No pressure then.

With eight acts in each team and just three spots in the live shows, things were getting pretty intense. Tonight, we were treated to Team Rita and Team Will, and there was no hanging about as we sped through the performances and then got the all important decisions. Read on for everything you need to know about tonight's knockouts...

Team Rita

Rita said she thought her team was amazing - she has different ages, genres and tones - and reckoned that all eight of her acts could make it in the charts.

Part of the fun of watching Empire is trying to figure out who each fictional character is based on. Puff Daddy or Jay Z seem like plausible inspiration for a high-powered music exec like Lucious Lyon, but was NBA player Iman Shumpert really who the writers looked to when they created Hakeem Lyon? The Cavaliers star seems to think so.

Shumpert, a black guy with a flat-top haircut who’s dating a R&B singer named Teyana (Taylor), feels the character Hakeem, a black guy with a flat-top who was dating a R&B singer named Tiana, is eerily similar to himself. And the fact that Fox has failed to acknowledge these similarities pisses him off. “They’re using my girl’s character, her style, her look and she’s not getting anything for it. They didn’t even change her name,” Shumpert told Cleveland.com. “They could have at

Based on the debauchery-filled web series of the same name, "Ktown Cowboys" is a bro-mantic dramedy (is that a genre first?) about five hard-partying pals drifting toward adulthood in Koreatown's after-hours soju bars and karaoke rooms in hopes of finding a better version of themselves. Check out the trailer below.

Unger will serve as co-ceo of the new venture alongside Gillespie and guide Three Six Zero Group’s expansion into film, TV and digital production as well as financial and branding advisory services to the global entertainment and media industries.

As co-CEOs Unger and Gillespie will oversee offices in Los Angeles, New York and London for Three Six Zero Entertainment, which will operate in partnership with Shawn “Jay Z” Carter’s entertainment company Roc Nation.

Breaking: David Unger has become co-ceo of Three Six Zero Entertainment, a new venture that will create a bridge for the youth music-centric company to branch into entertainment management and production. He’ll run the venture with Mark Gillespie and Dean Wilson, who run Three Six Zero Group and manage such Edm music powerhouse clients as Calvin Harris, Frank Ocean, Deadmau5 and Duke Dumont. The venture will operate in partnership with Shawn “Jay Z” Carter’s Roc Nation.

Unger had been a long time talent agent at ICM, and took a leap with Jeff Berg when the latter formed the talent agency Resolution. Launching a traditional talent agency without multiple revenue streams is a near impossible pursuit, and Resolution hit the wall when a promise of funding from China didn’t materialize in time. Despite the crash and burn–Unger didn’t jump, he went down with the ship–his

Actress and comedian Tasha Smith, who plays Cookie’s (Tajari P. Henson) sister Carol, on Fox’s hit new series Empire, really loves the show she’s on. So much so that she doesn’t even read the scripts for episodes she’s not in.

“I want to be surprised,” she tells ETonline about watching Empire, which now involves weekly viewing parties at her home. “I even have a chef cooking, do you hear me? It’s a party up in here every Wednesday night.”

Catch Up: Everything You Need to Know About 'Empire'

That enthusiasm extends beyond Smith -- who is probably, up until this point, most famous for portraying Angela Williams in Tyler Perry’s two Why Did I Get Married films and the For Better or Worse TV series -- to the viewers, which have grown in record numbers since Empire first premiered in January.

Rick Famuyiwa's Dope premieres this week at Sundance and brings with it a slew of young, but familiar, faces. There will reportedly be some Tyga, some Odd Future, some Blake Anderson — but most important, there will be some A$AP Rocky. The rapper nabbed a part after he helped his girlfriend (Chanel Iman) prep for her own Dope audition (aww). In the movie he plays Dom, a supporting character who interacts with the film's self-proclaimed geeky protagonist, Malcolm, closely. The film tracks Malcolm — a hip-hop fan with a garage band (which Pharrell wrote four songs for) — as he struggles to survive in Inglewood, California. Rocky was lauded by Famuyiwa for his "natural charisma and ability," so here's the briefest of tastes to get you going. (Seriously, he's in like one shot so it's like, Where's A$AP Waldo?)

It's a familiar premise at first glance: Teenagers growing up in a rough neighborhood deal with gangs, drugs, and crime. But director Rick Famuyiwa's Dope, which premieres at Sundance later this week, rejects the traditional narrative.
"The main character, Malcolm (Shameik Moore) is a Nineties hip-hop geek," Famuyiwa says of Dope's protagonist, a modern-day teen who lives in Inglewood, Calif. "He isn't a drug dealer or a gang banger. He's into all types of music, and video games and computers. We've seen a lot of films about everything else in these neighborhoods—the crime, the athletes, the gangs

The late, beloved singer Aaliyah would have turned 36 yesterday. Frank Ocean paid tribute by posting a cover of the Isley Brothers' "At Your Best (You Are Love)" on Tumblr — a song that Aaliyah also covered. This is the closest thing we've gotten to a full track from him after the teaser "Memrise." And in typical Ocean fashion, the song is spare and tender, with his falsetto driving the song. Can we get the follow-up to Channel Orange already?

Every week, members of the Vulture staff will highlight their favorite new songs. They might be loud, quiet, long, short, dance-y, rawkin', hip, square, rap, punk, jazz, some sort of jazz-punk-rap fusion — whatever works for the given person in that given week. Read our picks below and please tell us yours in the comments. (Also, read our music critic Lindsay Zoladz's review of Mark Ronson's Uptown Special.) Belle & Sebastian, “The Cat and the Cream” I won’t lie, I usually prefer bouncy B&S to melancholic B&S. But there is definitely a time for the latter. And that time is winter. —Jesse David Fox (@JesseDavidFox) Childish Gambino, “Sober" Looking for something to hold you over to the next Frank Ocean single? Childish Gambino does his best Frank impression (did you know this guy could sing?) with “Sober” — a track you know Frank would totally be jealous of. —Lindsey Weber (@LindseyWeber) Kelly Clarkson,

AC/DC, Drake and Jack White will headline Coachella 2015. The annual music festival will see the 'Highway to Hell' hitmakers take to the iconic stage on the first night of the three-day event, with Fka twigs and Azealia Banks also set to appear. Elsewhere, Odd Future member Tyler the Creator will perform, with 40-year-old singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, French DJ David Guetta and 'How to Be a Heartbreaker' singer Marina and the Diamonds also appearing.

Following the success of last year's festival, the Californian occasion - which is held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, in the Colorado Desert - will once again take place across two weekends,
